using the WKB expansion upto any power of \hbar could we writte the path integral as

I_{WKB}(1+ \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \hbar ^{n} I_{n})

where the symbol 'WKB' means the semiclassical approximation and the I(n) can be calculated approximately.

the idea is to compute Feynmann integrals as a series (divergent ?) on power involving \hbar
